I met Lionel at the NCarolina state fair in Raleigh. I was looking to earn some money. He hired me on to help sell pizzas. I was so grateful for his trust in me. He was one of the best bosses I’ve had and I valued his business, his character, etc. I wanted to do well. The work was v hard but I had a blast and was generously rewarded by Lionel. I was so saddened to come across this obituary. I know the world lost a representative of the greatest generation of people...a representative of a way of life of which hard work was recognized and rewarded, of which a young person could be gambled with giving a gesture of trust via work, of which that same young person could return that gesture with fulfillment of a promise. May God bless Lionel and his family...
